The Southern California Camp-meeting
By Editor
We had the privilege of attending the last few days of this good meeting, held in the suburbs of the beautiful city of Pasadena. The weather the first part of the meeting was hot, so hot, and the outside attendance was small! But the latter part of the meeting the weather moderated, and the evening attendance was good, the best of order prevailing. Between 500 and 600 persons camped upon the ground, a larger meeting than most local meetings. The laborers present were Brethren Knox, McClure, Breed, Healey, Snyder, and Burg. Brethren W. C. White, R. S. Owen, and the editor of this paper were present a part of the meeting. The labors of Brother White, who is on his way to Australia, were greatly appreciated. An expression often heard was, "This is the best camp-meeting I ever attended." The Spirit of the Lord was present, harmony prevailed, and souls formerly in doubt and sadness, were made to rejoice. There were nine, we believe, baptized, and other cases were postponed till after they returned to their home churches. About a dozen will attend Healdsburg College from Southern California, and we wish there were many more. That territory ought to fill the college. A comparison of this meeting with our general camp-meeting confirms us more and more that our business meetings should be held separate from our camp-meetings. The laborers at Pasadena had all the time to labor for and with the people, and God blessed their labors.
